>> an extreme makeover. that's what some republicans say the party needs after losing the presidency and seats in congress. all morning, we'll look at how the grand old party might be looking for a bold new image. winter is almost here and 'tis the season for cold, flu and bronchitis. our health expert joins us to see what you can do to stay healthy. it is saturday, december 1st, good morning, everyone. i'm randi kaye. >> i'm victor blackwell. >> hard to believe it is december already. where did the year go? >> the season and christmas music in the mall, it's great. >> it is kind of nice. kind of festive. we begin this morning with john mcafee, but now he's making headlines for a very different reason. as police want to question him

regarding the murder of his neighbor in belize. he says he's innocent and now he's speaking out to cnn in his first sit-down interview about his new life as a fugitive. >> hasn't been a lot of fun, i miss my prior life. >> well, mcafee was interviewed by phone and started a blog during his exile but martin savidge has more on the lengths mcafee is going through to avoid police. >> one of the most bizarre interviews i have been a part of but a part of a bad spy movie. there were vehicles we jumped into and switched into another vehicle and switch backs, u-turns, crossing through parking lots. when we got to john mcafee wearing an outlandish disguise

powder in his hair to make himself look old and he's walking with a cane. when we talked to him, this is where the conversation seemed to go from the credible to the crazy and then back to the credible, again. and i began asking him the questions authority want to know. did he have anything to do with the murder of his neighbor. he says, no, absolutely not. doesn't know who did. why don't you go to the police with that? he said because, this is the crazy part. the government is out to get him. if they capture him, they'll kill him. it's clear he feels he's running out of options and the walls are closing in. >> how do you see this coming to an end? >> i don't have a crystal ball. >> you won't turn yourself in? >> i will not. >> either somehow you'll get away or the authorities come and get you. >> well, get away doesn't mean leave the country, it means that, number one, they'll find the murder of mr. fall. number two, the people of this

country who are, by and large terrified to speak out, will start speaking out and something will change. but i will certainly not turn myself in and i will not quit fighting. >> authorities here in belize say that any talk that this is a government effort to try to kill him is, well, as crazy as it sounds. that is not true. this is a democratic nation. it is a nation that has a professional police force and it is only natural when your neighbor shows up dead that authorities would want to talk to you. they make the same request. they would ask that john mcafee turn himself in merely to answer some questions. and that is it. in the mind of john mcafee, that is not it at all. victor? >> and this is really one of the more bizarre stories. >> oh, yeah. >> this guy has kind of run off and he's hiding. you know, he told martin that he hid himself on a beach at one point and then put a box over his head. >> he is clearly paranoid, but

he hasn't been charged with anything. they just want to question him. so, it's the behavior is a little bizarre. >> which makes people wonder, why are you running if you're not a suspect. >> we'll see what happens. we want to bring you now live pictures coming in to us from near cairo university in egypt here. this is a pro-mohamed morsi rally. some pro-morsi rallies taking place. this is all about the so-called power grab by mohamed morsi trying to tell the judges there that they can't overturn any of the decrees he has put in place. now, we have a draft constitution put in place approved by an assembly there. a hurry up draft constitution and citizens will vote on that in a couple of weeks judging from the crowd here, they're certainly pro morsi, but a lot

of anger and frustration and this draft constitution does not represent a lot of the people there in egypt. we will continue to follow the story throughout the morning and continue to bring us live pictures and our reporters on the scene there, as well. >> this is also new to cnn. in the past few hours we learned that north korea's young leader kim jung-un plans to launch a rocket within days. this could raise tensions between the world's most secretive nation and the south korean neighbo and the u.s. seoul calls this a brave provocation. this would be south carolina's second attempt. you remember the first the rocket launch that hyped in april and he wants to put a working satellite in orbit. the rocket launchers are covered for ballistic missile tests. 31 days. that's how many days are left until the fiscal cliff deadline. but lawmakers are squaring off with each side accused of giving

each side a deal. here's house majority leader eric cantor. >> what we will do is take this as a serious matter. we are interested in trying to solve the problem for the american people so that we don't see taxes go up on anybody so that we can engage in tax reform and get this economy going, again. >> democratic senator max baucus says congressional leaders and the president need to get to work on negotiations right now before the u.s. enters unchartered waters. >> i think if there's no agreement, whatsoever, if the other side is completely that the president has probably no choice but to say, okay, we're going to go with a cliff. that would not be my first preference. >> should that happen, should we go over that so-called fiscal cliff republican congressman lee terry thinks there could be an

alterier motive on the part of the president. >> many of us fear that the president's real plan here was to let us go over the cliff and blame the republicans and that's what we look like we're being set up to do. and then if you go over the cliff, then two months later, a month later, the president can come back with a bill and say, hey, we're going to now since the republicans let everyone's taxes go up, i'm going to ride in here now and be the night and shining armor and lower the taxes on the lower two brackets. two pakistani brothers living in florida are accused of plotting to use a weapon of mass destruction against americans. they were arrested thursday on an indicted yesterday. the federal indictment says the plot started back in 2011. but investigators are being tight lipped about specifics. they're now trying to determine if the two were acting on their own or if they were receiving directions from overseas. the worst day of my career.

that's how the president of wyoming's caspar college describes an attack on campus. it left three people dead, including a faculty member. a man killed one person using what cops are only describing as a sharp edged weapon and then went into a classroom and killed another person and then he killed himself. the police have not released the names of the victims, but police say they all knew each other. in new jersey, three people are hospitalized in stable condition after a train derailment linked a chemical. the chemical vinyl chloride is toxic and highly flmable, but much of it has dissipated. the derailment is blamed on a bridge failure that sent four train cars tumbling into a creek near the delaware river. after losing the presidency and seats in the house and seats in the senate, there is really no way to avoid the elephant in the room and the gop knows it. >> so, what do they need to do to change?

welcome back, everyone. remaking the gop ilage. we heard a lot of soul searching in the weeks after president obama won re-election. here's how rnc chairman ryan pribus put it. >> don't draw any quick conclusions other than we lost and we know that. in order to get back in the game you have to look at and do a full autopsy on what happened. what we did well and what we didn't do well. >> from tax pledges to immigration and there is a whole lot to talk about. let's start with the no new tax pledge. a number of top republicans have come out saying they'll turn their back on the pledge if it gets a deal done on the fiscal cliff. >> i think a lot of people made the pledge 20 years ago, 50 years ago and i think they realize we're in a very critical time for our country and this issue has to be dealt with. revenues needs to be a part of

the component and entitlement reform, true entitlement reform has to be there also in order for us to put this in the rear view mirror. >> that's a big change. so what would the former republican party flag bearer say. >> change can't be measured in speeches. it's measured in results. >> that was mitt romney attacking president obama, but it works for his own party, too. now, let's move on to immigration. romney's deportation stands didn't sit well with a growing number of hispanic voters and now two retiring reporters are pushing their own version of the dream act. it gives children the path to citizenship. >> we're introducing this legislation, which is not dissimilar from what the president has done de facto as a way of righting the situation, but doing it the right way. namely, to change the law. >> change can't be measured in speeches, it's measured in results. >> one of the issues that sunk a

couple of republican senate candidates was abortion. their controversial statements really did them in. so, now john mccain has a remedy for this one. >> as far as young women are concerned, absolutely. i don't think anybody like me, i can state my position on abortion, but to other than that, leave the issue alone. >> change can't be measured in speeches, it's measured in results. >> but i'll leave the last word for ted cruz, the incoming republican senator from texas. he says he's like the mythical unicorn, a hispanic republican and he also says the legacy of barack obama is going to be a new generation of leaders within the republican party. we'll have much more on the future of the republican party throughout the morning and coming up next hour, we'll talk about change. what needs to change and what really needs to stay the same, actually. . but right now in washington, it doesn't matter if you're from the old republican guard or the new one, everyone is going to

let's not kid ourselves. i'm not trying to make this more difficult. >> reporter: things got tense after treasury secretary geithner visited capitol hill thursday to present what republicans are calling an unreasonable proposal. it includes $1.6 trillion in new taxes. in part through raising rates on the top 2% and limiting loopholes and deductions. $50 billion in stimulus next year and $400 billion in medicare and other entitlement savings to be worked out. >> i think that the proposal that was delivered here by secretary goieithner to the speaker and me yesterday is not a serious proposal. >> they want to have this extra spending that actually greater than the amount they're willing to cut. >> but democrats say it was just a starting point and one republicans should counter. >> there is going it be some prolonged negotiations and all of us are going to have to get out of our comfort zones to make that happen.

>> reporter: cnn has learned last week the republicans gave the white house their own starting position, which democrats consider unbalanced. extending all the bush-era tax rates, including for people making $250,000 and up. raising revenue through tax reform. and cutting medicare in part by increasing the eligibility age. both democrats and republicans are playing for leverage against the clock and democrats are feeling emboldened by election results that gave them more seats in the house and the senate next year and won the president a second term on a promise that republicans are still resisting, a pledge to raise tax rates on the wealthiest 2% of americans. and at the white house, they believe that eventually republicans will relent on this point. randi, victor? >> jessica yellin, thank you very much. so, these massive protests that we've been watching, really, for a couple weeks now,

challenge it. when it comes to writing the constitution, he says the courts no longer have any oversight and only he can make any decision regarding the drafting of the constitution. that's a direct challenge to the courts. that's what has a lot of people in tahrir and around the country so angry. no oversights over the writing of the constitution, especially now that the assembly that wrote it is heavily dominated by islamists after the liberals, after the christians pulled out of the assembly. the constitution draft that is expected to be written later today was written and approved by a large majority of islamists. >> two protests happening at the same time. one in support and one in defiance. thank you. after today there will be a star missing from the galaxy. today's mls final will mark the end of an era for professional soccer in the u.s. we'll have all the details for

reported. now, if you own one of the models, ford wants you to contact the dealer immediately for an alternative transportation. they'll give it to you at no cost. they have not yet determined how they'll repair this. and not just the car companies that are facing some bad news. seems like the food industry has been taking some hits over the last couple of weeks. all right, we saw the closure of the maker of twinkie, hostess. >> we shed a few tears over that one. no more twinkies, but, yes, the company was locked in a strike with its bakers union over contract terms that have been set. the ceo said if you don't come back to work, guess what, we'll have to close down and the workers actually called his bluff. they didn't come back and we saw what happened, the company move under to liquidation. >> after we read the story about the closure, i went out looking for twinkies at three stores, no where. i'm not paying 60 bucks a box. the transition was rough, 18,000

workers laid off, but we heard executives are going to get their bonuses. >> of course, they are. but not as simple as the headline reads. also called retention pay. kind of creative there. hostess is paying its executives to stay and help the company through the liquidation. and they have to meet certain benchmarks. they need people who have been running the place, of course, to help sell the company. which means we could, once again, see the twinkies in the lunch boxes. you never know. a girl can dream. you never had a twinkie? >> i never had a twinkie. you have had a twinkie. >> yeah. >> at one point i'll have one of those cream filled delicious cake. we could live to see twinkie get into another box. but not just hostess that battles the union. the issue came up on thursday in new york. hundreds of workers from fast food workers like mcdonald's, kfc and burger king on strike.
